Get Bold, Beautiful Brows With The Billion Dollar Bestsellers Kit

Oct 30, 2014





Let's blame Cara Delevingne for making full brows popular again. Brows are finally getting the spotlight they deserve! They are such an important part of your face. The right shape can take years off your face and enhance your features. So you can imagine how excited I was when I got the chance to review the Bestsellers Kit from Billion Dollar Brows.

Billion Dollar Brows Smudge Brush - an essential item for applying Brow Highlighter. This flat, synthetic brush is the ideal mate for applying creamy cosmetics like our Brow Duo Pencil. Get your smudge on!


There was quite a change in my skimpy brows after using this kit. I used all the items in the kit to get these fabulous results!




Getting Billion Dollar Brows:



1. I brushed my eyebrow hairs up and out using the brush that is included with the Universal Brow Pencil.

2. I outlined my brow with the Universal Brow Pencil and filled in the ENDS of my eyebrows only. I didn't fill in the front because I feel that it gives a more natural effect when you don't. You don't want your eyebrows to look too severe.

3. I used the "concealer" end of the Brow Duo Highlighter to outline and clean up the edges.

4. I used the Brow Smudge Brush to blend out the concealer with my skin tone.

I was very pleased with these products. The pencil was very smooth and not too creamy. However, I feel like that it isn't "Universal" as I feel it won't really work on those with darker hair or skin tone. I did like the brow gel very much, it kept my brows in line and it lived up to its promise on not flaking.

The kit is available at Kohl's or www.kohls.com as of this month. It retails for $35.00 which I feel is a great value for your money with everything that is included.

Halloween Makeup: AAAAAH I'm A Zombie!

Halloween Makeup: AAAAAH I'm A Zombie!

Oct 26, 2014


Another look for Halloween. This time, I'm a vicious zombie. With my flesh torn off, ready to attack! Cool back story huh? This was surprisingly easy to do. I used paper towel and liquid latex for the "torn flesh". Then I drew on the teeth to make it look skull-like. Then I just went crazy with the rest of my face. I used the "Colorizer" app for iPhone to change my eye color is the first couple of pictures.

Halloween Makeup: Silence is Golden

Oct 15, 2014



I rarely do SFX makeup, I usually just draw out my looks. It can be pretty difficult working with the "extra ingredients". But now with YouTube, you can learn to do just about anything. That's how I learned about using tissues and liquid latex to create fake skin.

 I wanted to get really into the gory stuff and I started out with this "smile". I wanted to give the appearance of a Glasgow Smile that got pinned back together. Very sick and something that might be part of a Saw movie.


For this look I used the liquid latex and tissue paper to make layers of skin. After cutting open the new layers, I added some blood and safety pinned back the latex layers. This is something that isn't super difficult, but like most Halloween looks, it does require some patience.

Redken Color Rebel Hair Makeup in "Gilt-y As Charged" and "Punked Up Pink"

I was given the chance to try out the Redken Color Rebel temporary color. I'll admit I was kind of hesitant because I have really dark hair and temporary colors usually don't show up well on it. But I decided to test it out by doing a couple of peek-a-boo streaks in the front of my hair. I didn't want to go too crazy since I had to be mindful of my job (darn it).

Redken Color Rebel Hair Makeup "Punked Up Pink"
The color I tried was "Punked Up Pink". The color comes packaged in a cylindrical tube with a separate spongy attachment. You had to remove the cap and attach the sponge yourself. This was pretty messy (well for me at least!) and I advise for you to wear gloves because this does stain. It comes off but it took a lot of scrubbing. 

You select the section of hair you want to color and you apply it using the spongy-thingy (can't think of another name for it). Depending on how intense you want the color, you can keep layering it on. I layered it about three times since my hair color is dark. After applying the color, you have to brush it out to distribute and set the color. You can also use a blow dryer but I just brushed it out. One thing about this is that you have to brush it out pretty thoroughly since it does stiffen your hair a bit, creating tangles.




And the color is pretty intense! After one wash, it stayed pretty pigmented. I got my hair done at the salon the next day and the stylists couldn't believe I achieved this color without bleaching it. They were pretty excited when I mentioned this product. The color blended really nicely with my hair since I chose subtle sections and my hair is dyed burgundy. And because my hair is burgundy, the pink showed up more on the purple side which I loved since you all know purple is my favorite color. I'm considering using it again to do peek-a-boo streaks through my head to keep it work appropriate. It washes out after two shampoos depending on much you layered and on the porosity of your hair. But for a quick removal, there's Redken Hair Cleansing Creme. Also, rubbing on some Argan Oil would do the trick.

My hair after one shampoo
I would definitely recommend this product for those that love to experiment but only want a temporary fix. Redken Color Rebel Hair Makeup will be available this month in October. So perfect for Halloween!
